But we drank a toast to the reunion from the Vietnamese restaurant in Mornington Crescent where we were eating that night. (Mom's first drinkable wine in more than a week.)<BR/><BR/>Rhinebeck, especially in the late summer/early autumn, is a sucker punch thrown at you by the Dutchess County tourism board. Every time I'm visiting parents, I think, "Oh, I could live here ... if only for the existence of Upstate Films in Rhinebeck."

I've only now got around to it, and all I can say is: TOTALLY justifies eight hours on the Chinatown bus. 1987 was simply the banner year of rock. And, y'know, as I type that, my brain *knows* that I'm saying something very, very wrong, and yet my heart knows it's so very right.<BR/><BR/>-E.esquiverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10679268494682291410noreply@blogger.com
